Hello Everyone,
I came across a new database on Ancestry.com that I think might be of some benefit for a few Lardner families: All UK, Royal Hospital Chelsea Pensioner Admissions and Discharges, 1715-1925. The files themselves are housed on a non-Ancestry.com associated website, so if you do not have an Ancestry account you can pay for access to see the records on Fold3.com instead.
Please note, I'm only including pertinent facts, not the entirety of what can be found the records. In addition, I am also only listing those entries that specifically reference County Clare. If you know your Clare relatives name and regiment, you may be able to find their service information in the registers. There are several Lardners (and variations of the name) listed, but not all entries provide a place of birth.
